Why did nobody bother to find out his name? The very fact that he had a mulberry coloured birthmark meant that he was noticed but nobody asked him for his name. Perhaps the fact that he had a birthmark somehow lessened his importance to the other boys, his disability somehow made him invisible. I suppose that he is an example of societies atitude towards disability.

EDIT

Actually, none of the littluns are named throughout the book because of their lack of importance. The significance of the mulberry birthmark was so that the boy was noticeable, rather than ignored. The distinguishable birthmark is what makes Piggy notice that the young boy has gone missing after the first fire which they fail to control - he's killed in the fire and therefore the first character death, followed by Simon and Piggy.

Answer 3

When the boys build the first signal fire on the mountain top they collect dried wood and branches from a pocket of jungle growing just below the summit. The littluns soon get bored or and many of the pick and eat fruit instead. After the fire has been lit it collapses n on itself and set loose a cloud of spark. some of these sparks set fire to the pocket of jungle from which they had collected wood. It is only after the whole patch is burning fiercely that Piggy realises that the littlun with the mulberry coloured birth mark on his face is nowhere to be seen. As the boy is never seen again he presumably perished when the pocket of jungle caught fire.

It is believed that he died in the fire, or got lost from the rest of the boys and turned savage/wild. He never returns
